After years of pestering, we finally broke down and got a pair of kittens – Zoro and Phoenix. The boys took a little time to get acclimated, but now they’re just part of the crew!

Back to School!
Just a couple days after we got back from Iceland, it was time for school! The same schools meant familiar places and faces but new teachers to meet. Everyone was up early and excited for the year to begin!
A Wrap Up of the Rest
From puffins to lava to horses to the Blue Lagoon, there were plenty of memorable moments outside of Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and icescapes galore.

A Capitol Fourth

Real Madrid Again
Not long after our first World Club Cup game in DC, we decided to see O’s favorite team Real Madrid (again) in the quarterfinals. Half of us ventured up to New Jersey for a long, sunny day away from home. The exciting victory made the trip totally worthwhile!
